Jay nodded. “How do you want me to help you?”Jenson looked awkward. “Daddy… I need Mommy to visit Madam Charlotte in my place.”Jay was so astonished that he turned around, looking at Jenson with a puzzled gaze.Jenson explained quickly, “Don’t worry, Daddy. Baby Robbie and I will sneak under Madam Charlotte’s bed beforehand, and when Mommy goes in, I’ll get Sis Andy and Sis Roxie to go with her to make sure she’s safe.”Jay knew Jenson’s intention for doing so. It would probably be difficult to determine if Madam Nephele had replaced Madam Charlotte just by seeing her face alone, so Jenson needed to sound her out through conversation to detect anything suspicious.Jenson was a boy and a junior. There was simply no justifiable reason for him to visit Grandma Charlotte.Angeline was the best candidate.Jenson was fully prepared to ensure Angeline’s safety. Yet even so, how could Jay possibly allow Angeline to take the risk?Jenson said, “I’ll think of another way if you don’t
Jacob asked suspiciously, “Why is he here at this hour?”Jacob had no choice but to greet Grand Old Master Ares at the door.Mammoth Courtyard’s front door.Despite walking over with a smile, Jacob voiced out the doubts he had in his heart, “Father, JJ, why are you here?”Grand Old Master Ares said, “Tourmaline Estate is in disharmony recently. I can’t feel at ease, so I brought JJ over to patrol. I just arrived at Mammoth Courtyard when I heard Julia’s cries. My hearing isn’t as good anymore but I heard Julia saying someone was transferring out the assets. What’s going on?”Jacob’s back was drenched in sweat as he said, “Oh Dad, don’t listen to the crap Julia says. Her mother is sick and has left her out in the cold. That’s why she’s saying all these heartless things out of anger.”Julia muttered, “I’m not saying these things out of anger. I heard that Mom transferred out the assets…”Grand Old Master Ares asked, “How’s your wife feeling?”Jacob sighed. “Sigh, her illness came
The longer Angeline spent in there, the more uneasy he would feel.Angeline muttered to herself and wondered if she could sound Madam Charlotte out in just five minutes.“Angeline…” Jay put Angeline’s hand on his chest. She could feel his heart drumming wildly.Was this brat using this method to act like a spoiled child in front of her?“Okay, okay, five minutes,” Angeline said.Jay grinned from ear to ear, and without warning, he planted a kiss on Angeline’s bare forehead.“Love you.”Angeline flushed with embarrassment before turning around and entering the room with the servant with her head dropped low.Jay stood at the door like a wooden puppet.When Jenson and Baby Robbie heard Daddy saying honeyed words to Mommy, their faces broke out in a grin.Daddy, the imposing man with a gigantic stature that resembled a divine being, actually knew how to act like a spoiled child in front of Mommy?The servant brought Angeline to Madam Charlotte’s bed. The room might be pitch-bla
Jenson stepped out from behind the wardrobe while Baby Robbie climbed out from under the bed. Jenson stroked his chin and pondered, saying, “Weird. Why didn’t Grandma Charlotte say anything?”Baby Robbie replied, “She’s probably mortally ill.”“Would you choose to be a mute when you’re mortally ill?”Baby Robbie quickly imagined himself at the brink of death and said relentlessly, “I won’t. I still have many things to say to you guys as well as some secrets. I will definitely tell it all to you before I die…”Jenson looked at him in astonishment. “What secrets?”Realizing that he had spilled the beans, he quickly changed the subject. “Ahah! Are you cursing me, Jens?”“I mean if…” Jens said.Baby Robbie shrugged. “I was saying if too…”Jens stopped asking.Suddenly, there were rushed footsteps approaching the room. Jenson and Baby Robbie leaped out the window and escaped.Jay and Angeline came to Mammoth Courtyard’s living room and spoke a few words to Jacob before Jay found a
What was the relationship between Madam Nephele and Sandra?After Judy died, Jay had arranged for Sandra to live with Spencer. In the last few days, he had not received any news from Spencer. Clearly, Sandra had learned to stay out of trouble after returning to the Yorks.Jay had an idea.The next day.Jay summoned Jenson and denied his previous speculations, saying, “Your mother visited Grandma Charlotte last night and realized she was restrained by drugs, not taken over by Madam Nephele.“I want you to think of a way to get Grandma Charlotte out of there, Jens.”Jenson frowned. “Madam Nephele didn’t take over her body?”Jay said, “I thought about it. Grandma had always remained in her boudoir and would at most have some dealings with her business partners in the business field. If she suddenly interacted with other women from the other families, she would raise suspicion, so it would be difficult for Madam Nephele to do anything if she replaced her.”Jenson came to a sudden r
This time, Cole grew exceedingly serious. He thought about it and his expression fell as he said, “I remember now. Previously, Sandra would wear a ring that my father had given her. Now, Sandra’s fingers are bare. I was wondering if she had grown cold toward my father and maybe that’s why she took off her ring. Now that I think about it, the ring probably doesn’t fit her.”Cole added, “Also, she would give all sorts of excuses to go out.”Jenson asked emotionally, “At what times would she leave the Yorks’ villa?”Cole replied, “Five days ago at night, four days ago at noon…”Jenson said, “I had dealings with her those two times.”Cole was stunned. “Are you saying that Madam Nephele is hiding in the Yorks’ villa?”Jay and Jenson nodded.Cole was infuriated and roared furiously, “F*ck, how bold could she get?! How dare she hide in the Yorks’ residence?”Cole walked out after saying those words, rolling up his sleeves while cursing, “I’ll chop you into pieces…”Behind him, Jay an
Cole felt exceedingly awkward. Jay said in a sinister voice, “Your son is so big now yet you’re still thinking about other women?”Cole’s expression grew obscure.Jay sighed heavily.Jenson felt as though the air had condensed into ice and the atmosphere turned stifling. He quickly changed the subject. “Daddy, I’ll get Baby Robbie. We’ll go to the Yorks’ villa together. This will be like shooting fish in a barrel.”Jay and Cole’s awkwardness dissipated. Jay focused his attention on Madam Nephele’s affair, and his expression grew solemn.“Let’s split up. Baby Robbie will take Andy and Roxie to the Yorks’ villa. You’ll take the Ghost members to Mammoth Courtyard to save Grandma Charlotte.”“Okay.” Jenson turned around and left.Jay glared grumpily at Cole and said, “Go home. Don’t let the cat out of the bag.”Cole asked, “Can I help?”Jay replied, “I’m wondering where the real Sandra is. Madam Nephele certainly won’t let her appear in public. Where would she hide Sandra, then?
Angeline said, “I just thought you and Jens would need his help at a time like this, that’s why I let him in.”Jay said, “My world is better without him.”Angeline sighed. How old was he? Why was he still so childish?Jay, “...”His heart chilled. If he had a close female friend, Angeline would probably make an even greater fuss compared to him, right?Angeline took Jay’s hand and walked to the table.“I made you breakfast. Have some.”Jay looked at the wide variety of breakfast that Angeline had cooked with love and sincerity. The dark clouds in his heart dispersed without a trace.All of a sudden, he realized that there was no need for him to get mad at Cole. After all, he was the one who spent the most time with Angeline and could eat the breakfast she made. What more could he ask for?Cole rushed back to the Yorks’ villa.As soon as he reached the door, he saw Baby Robbie and the beautiful Andy and Roxie stopping in front of the courtyard’s gate. They were gazing up and a
